In an already overcrowded market, Ubisoft decided to launch its own vision of a battle royale game. Hyper Scape is a free-to-play battle royale first-person shooter set in the distant future of 2054, where up to 100 Contenders descend upon the virtual city of Neo-Arcadia to fight and be crowned champion.

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, Hyper Scape was designed to play as an intense, vertical, and fast-paced battle royale experience. Matches between two teams of three players are open to friends who want to play together or solo players.

As far as the new thing that it brings to the table, Hyper Scape introduces Hacks, abilities that players can loot in the world the same way they do weapons. These Hacks grant offensive and defensive capabilities to suit all playstyles. More importantly, all Hacks and weapons can be upgraded through the Fusion mechanic to produce more powerful iterations of the pre-existing item.

Ubisoft also added some twists to the battle royale formula, such as the unpredictable Decay which dissolves the map of Neo-Arcadia into different patterns, or the unique Echo mechanic that keeps players active in the battle even when they’re down.

At the end of a Hyper Scape match, the climactic showdown phase starts when the Hyper Scape crown spawns on the map. Players have two different ways to claim victory, either by picking up and carrying the crown for 45 seconds or by being the last player or squad standing.

Hyper Scape is available in a limited-time PC technical test in many territories across North America and Europe. Interested players can try out the game during the technical test by tuning into one of the content creators currently broadcasting Hyper Scape on Twitch with Twitch Drops enabled. The limited-time closed technical test on PC will end on July 7.

For the duration of the closed technical test, only the three-player squad Crown Rush mode will be available, while the limited-time Dark Haze solo mode will be available later during the test. In addition, the test will feature a free 10-tier battle pass, and all progress and items will carry over through future live phases and into the full launch.
